Did Ford make any Crew Cab 4x4's with a long bed for 77-79 models?

Has anyone ever lengthened the frame and put a Long bed on a Crew Cab?

-How would you go about this?
-Cost?
-Gains/Loss in performance...

yep did one here. Took a reg cab long box and a extended cab long box and the front half of of the regular cab and the rear half of the extended cab together. I can see if we have measurements from it. Ended up selling it to a guy from out east this summer. Not sure if we took them when we did this one. Cost was 2 frames and was not much different then shortening an extended cab long box to a shortbox crew. Split and weld and reinforce. Gains/loss.....not sure thats what the guy that we built it for wanted. If you have the frames its pretty decent. I know we have pics of the completed truck before paint. Email me if you need pics and I will see about measurements.

I recently bought a 1978 crew cab short bed, are you saying ford did not manufacture these rigs, or just the crew cab long beds?
